The article claims that Sicilians were required to check off "Southern Italian," as opposed to "white." I don't care what the source article says; this is obviously incorrect. A quick check of the Ellis Island website will show ship's passenger lists from the early 1900s with every "race" under the sun, from "Southern Italian" to "Hebrew" to "German" to "Irish" to, yes, "English." It was not an either/or. 2601:246:4000:99F0:6498:E347:F78C:E267 ( talk) 04:17, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
This page is persistently edited to classify all American Jews as "Middle Eastern". This is false, as European Jews have a different history of racial classification in the United States compared to MENA Jews. It is inappropriate to use Wikipedia to promote fringe race science theories and it erases the specificity of the MENA Jewish experience of racialization under US law and in the US census.
